Lovely day here. Tired, and regretting that 2nd glass of wine - excited KidB up early in party mode (let's hope the Nutty Professor is all he's cracked up to be).Foot STILL sore on side of heel, so body conditioning class for me, even tho' would rather be down on the towpath in my trusty Asics. Happy plodding, hum a B White tune as you go ...

Its a bit overcast here this morning but the foot is now nearly better. I can hardly feel a twinge as i walk but this is where i may fall into temptation. I would love to get out and do a couple of miles today but i probably shouldn't. I will try my best to wait until tomorrow.

Its exciting stuff either way.

hope the party goes ok FLR and your foot gets better promptly.

Have a great day everyone, and good luck to everyone racing this weekend...

Was getting up early to long plod but cider abd Nytol put paid to that. Still more sleep than usual. Like the title FLR, take it easy on injuries both you and Alf. Well done PH. Off to Habitat first ti pick up stuff then Will be plodding Richmond Park. need to do 6 miles in 68 mins so will go for 34 then turn round therebye avoiding worst hill and have the excitment of trying a negative split. Life dont come no better!!!!!

Uh-oh. Completed plod as required, and then walked into town to get a few bits and bobs.

Bumped into someone from my running club, who (after saying that I had just done one of our normal Sunday routes) started saying to me "oh well it's a good idea to do that, because it is difficult to get speed up on Sunday runs because of waiting for the slow people isn't it. But it is quite social"...

I'm not too sure if he realised that I, in fact, constitute that description of "slow people" (i.e. I am always at the back!!!). I feel bad now. Don't want anyone to wait for me anyway......moan groan....

Finally got out. 34mins one way 33 back so splitted negatively! Heel aches most of the time so going to ice and oily bath it and talk to it nicely. Smitch, 9min miles is right quick you'd be at the front of my plodding club on the plodding day.

Hi Chris, gosh, a negative split sounds very professional!!I am trying not to let the member of my group's comments effect me too much. I only can do 9min miles on races with the wind in the right direction (and down hill)
